I like how my head switched from how scary an alien invasion would be to thinking that aliens coming here and fixing this mess is our only hope at this point

We'd literally have to halt all emissions and start massive "rewilding" projects to turn this puppy around. Remember 2020 when human industrial activity paused for a while and nature took some time to take a breath? We will need things like that but all the time. Perhaps have arbour day a monthly thing? Perhaps close all factories over the weekend? Perhaps move to 3 day weekends? Perhaps make an ordinance that 50% of each country needs to be natural untouched protected wilderness? Who knows? We need a lot of solutions NOW.

But how am I gonna get the newest iPhone within 24hrs then? Ever thought about that? Does anyone care about me?

I'm not sure. I'm worried that we're already in the feedback loop.

Corporations are hell bent on ushering in an environmental hellscape so they can keep up their profits and they're doing a pretty good job considering how many politicians they have in their pockets.

Not everyone will be amicable, the capitalist boomers will still hear it in one ear and then let it exit the other ear.

Aliens/"work of God" is needed.

In the 2000's alien adoption stuff and aliens in general was huge. Every week there was another american redneck that got abducted by aliens. I sometimes couldn't sleep at night thinking about it.
Now i fucking wish aliens would abduct me.
